5.0 out of 5 stars Solid but foggy, December 14, 2008

These goggles are very solid. Fortunately I haven't had to test them yet, but whenever I have used them, I've felt that my eyes were very well protected. I mainly got these because they were inexpensive and fit over my glasses (I can't see much without my glasses, and I need them on for the machine shop work for which I purchased this product).

My only real complaint is that they don't have any venting; as a result, after not-that-lengthy periods of use, they tend to fog up inside. This is easily fixed by taking them off briefly, and perhaps wiping down the inside. It's just somewhat annoying to have to stop what I'm doing every 15 minutes or so to de-fog.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good for glasses. They stink, really!, April 15, 2010

I work in a chemistry lab and wear goggles anywhere from four to twelve hours a day, five to six days a week. Common splash goggles become uncomfortable after a few hours, so I decided to try a few better quality goggles. I wear glasses.

On the plus side, these AO Safety goggles are comfortable. The single-piece lens is flexible and exhibits very little distortion. The goggles readily conform to the face, make a good seal, and are plush. The strap appears durable.

On the minus side, the lens is tinted, the goggles are heavy, the lens pushes against my glasses, and they emit a horrific odor.

Although the lens is obviously high quality, it is tinted. The tinting is subtle, but became more obvious as time went by. The goggles are obviously intended for working in a chemical hazard environment. Most such environments are indoors, so there's really no logic to the tint. It's not dark enough for full sun protection, and diminishes the apparent indoor light.

Compared to other goggles, they are heavy. The strap keeps them well positioned, as does the seal they make to the face. But, after a few hours of wear, they become wearisome from the weight pulling on the face.

The goggles' ability to conform to the face makes them unsuitable for glasses wearers. The edges of the goggles take a sharp turn around the temples. The arms of my glasses contact the lens, forcing the glasses into the bridge of my nose; I don't have big glasses. There are cut outs for the arms of glasses which are readily removed with an hobby knife.

These glasses stink. After removing the goggles I could smell the chemicals that leached from their manufacture. This odor remained with me for two to three hours. Whatever is causing the odor cannot be good for the health. Also, as a chemist, odors are one clue that something bad is in the air. Since the odor from the goggles was so overpowering, the inability to smell lab chemicals is a safety hazard.

I cannot say whether or not they are fog proof or fog resistant. The lab is kept air-conditioned. I can see why some occasional goggle users would like these, especially if the use is for periods less than one hour. For full-time lab workers, they are not suitable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but..., November 17, 2009

The goggle works great as described and as it's intended to be used. The lenses are 100% anti-fog, that is for sure, but ventilation is bad. 2 minutes and my prescription glasses would fog up and I'd have to remove the goggle for 5 seconds to get clear visibility, and this is why I rated it 4. It's NOT comfy as not wearing, that's for sure, but this is what you get for a well-secure goggle (although can be improved). Overall, as an amateur, I'm very glad about this product.
